I've just discovered a really useful R package by Jan Broder Engler called tidyheatmaps. It's designed to make creating heatmaps from tidy data easy, especially for publication-quality visuals. The package uses pheatmap for detailed heatmaps with less coding. If you work with data like gene expression, you can get a heatmap set up quickly. The usage is straightforward, allowing for quick customization of your heatmaps. Check out the full guide for all options: jbengler.github.io/tidyheatmaps/ Give it a try for your next data visualization task. It could be a game changer for presenting your data. #RStats #DataVisualization #Heatmaps

Announcing the @AnimBehSociety Career Diversity Travel Award! These awards are meant to increase conference support for career stages including postdocs, research scientists, lecturers, adjuncts, and non-tenure track faculty. Apply! animalbehaviorsociety.org/web/awards-car……

I am DELIGHTED to share this paper. It began with a rejection - my NSF postdoc fellowship wasn't funded in its first round. But @rosvall_lab invested in me anyhow and we began this massive comparative project on aggression, testosterone, and neurogenomics. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Jamie_Corc's first manuscript from her @UNOmaha graduate thesis work! Check it out! #NSFfunded #zebrafish #animalcognition Bold zebrafish (Danio rerio) learn faster in an associative learning task biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
